Nuggets Night

Originally scheduled for February but postponed due to snow, the now-annual tradition of Nuggets Night brings together Portland bands to cover the trash rock, proto punk, grungy garage, and psychedelic psychosis of the influential Nuggets compilation albums, which captured the seamier side of '60s rock 'n' roll. The shadow of those indelible tunes grows larger year by year, and tonight, 14 local faves like Blue Skies for Black Hearts, the Zags, the Pynnacles, and many more will rev up the way-back machine. Expect to hear classics by the Chocolate Watchband, the 13th Floor Elevators, the Kingsmen, and loads of others. NED LANNAMANN
